What Causes Feeling Of Fullness And A Bulge Feeling In Lower Back?
Question: I have a sense of fullness and a bulge feeling in my lower back. Its like I have pressure on my upper right side under my rib. Right hip pain as well. It is very uncomfortable.
Brief Answer:
Abdominal fullness, needs evaluation. Likely gut related
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Sense of fullness , pressure in right hypochondrium, early satiety, lower back pressures are likely bloating issues, gastric functional decline of movements, constipation. some hormonal related changes like perimenopause or time near menses can cause it. Gastric discomforts like dyspepsia, acid reflux, gall bladder issues etc may also cause it.
I would like you to get evaluated for the likely cause, get some work up like abdominal ultrasound , blood picture etc. If you have constipation or hard stools that needs to be relieved. Eat small frequent meals, take some gastric motility enhancing medication. Use peppermint, yogurt and green leafy vegetables for the relief. Take some pepto and some tylenol for the back pain.
Talk to a gastroenterologist or an internist and let them sort it out for you. I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
